Civitas CEO Dan Healy Endorses Trump's Gold Card Initiative to Boost the Economy

In a significant endorsement, Daniel J. Healy, the CEO of Civitas Capital Group, has expressed strong support for President Donald Trump's innovative Gold Card proposal for investment visas. He believes this initiative could enhance the existing EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program, creating a powerful synergy that would benefit the U.S. economy.

In his recent statements, Healy pointed to an editorial written by economist Stephen Moore, which outlined the potential advantages of merging the Gold Card with the EB-5 program. Healy stated that together, they could streamline processes and act as effective tools to reduce the national deficit while promoting economic growth and job creation.

Healy emphasized that “the Gold Card presents a tremendous opportunity to further bolster the success of the EB-5 program.” The Gold Card, envisaged to require a $5 million investment directly into the U.S. Treasury, aims to attract foreign investment while simultaneously reducing the national deficit. This proposal aligns with the ethos of the EB-5 program, which has already generated over $55 billion in foreign investments and created more than 1.4 million jobs without relying on taxpayer funds.

Healy echoes Moore's sentiments, noting that leveraging the established EB-5 infrastructure as part of the Gold Card initiative could accelerate implementation and maximize its effects. “At their hearts, EB-5 and the Gold Card are both America First programs,” he remarked. Healy believes that by enhancing the EB-5 framework with the Gold Card, the programs can achieve President Trump’s objectives of attracting foreign investment while fostering economic development within the United States.

Moore refers to the Gold Card as a “smart complement” to the EB-5 program, suggesting that an executive order could significantly increase its capacity by not counting spouses and children of investors against the annual visa allocation, effectively tripling its reach.

Healy insists that the Gold Card is not intended to replace the EB-5 program; instead, it should be seen as an enhancement. He believes the dual approach of combining the Gold Card and a robust EB-5 framework could create more jobs and help mitigate the nation’s debt. “This is an enormous win-win,” Healy states, highlighting the potential for a comprehensive investor visa program that benefits all parties involved.

The Civitas Capital Group has been a pivotal player in the EB-5 landscape, providing unique investment opportunities in real estate for over 1,600 investors from 40 countries over the last 15 years. Their mission is to help investors realize the American Dream, creating value for all stakeholders.

With growing support for the Gold Card and its alignment with the EB-5 program, the prospects for U.S. investment immigration seem bright. As Healy looks to the future, he emphasizes that this could be a defining moment for investment immigration in the United States, signifying the importance and potential of foreign investment in bolstering economic stability.

In conclusion, both the EB-5 and the Gold Card initiatives signify a proactive approach toward economic growth, job creation, and national debt reduction. Civitas Capital Group remains committed to its mission, poised to navigate the evolving landscape of investment immigration in the United States.
